The Network Section

Last Updated: Apr 17, 2017 03:25PM EDT

What is the Network section?

The Network tab is where you'll find more information about the stakeholders you're connected to with Merit, and which students at your school are connected to those stakeholders. In a way, it's similar to the directory of students in the Students section of your account, but the students are filtered by the schools and other organizations they are associated with.

How is the Network section organized?

The Network section is divided into 5 separate tabs, and within those tabs you can click to view a more detailed view of the schools, organizations, and media outlets you see there.

Tabs in the Network section:

High Schools - High schools you're connected to

Community Colleges - Community colleges you're connected to

Media - Media organizations within your reach

Government - Government representatives within your reach

Other - Other types of organizations you're connected to, like honor societies.

Clicking on any card in the Network section will open up a detail page for that organization. These detail pages will offer some basic information about the organization and show you how strong your connection is to that organization:

Note: The details on organization pages may vary. For example, high school pages include the school's CEEB code, and media pages include basic contact information.

On any organization page, you can click on any student to open up a lightbox open for that person:
